Tatsuo Miyajima (宮島 達男Miyajima Tatsuo?, January 16, 1957 –) is a Japanesesculptor and installation artist who lives in Moriya, in Ibaraki prefecture, Japan. His work frequently employs digital LED counters and is primarily concerned with the function and significance of time and space, especially within the context of Buddhist thought.

Work

Although Miyajima originally trained as a painter, and briefly considered himself to be a performance artist, the majority of his work now takes the form of installation and sculpture. He has admitted that, in effect, his work now "performs" on his behalf.[2] His core artistic concepts are: "Keep Changing, Connect with Everything, Continue Forever."[3]

Early Work

In 1970s, Miyajima practised performance art.[4] He was initially influenced by the work of Joseph Beuys, Allan Krapow and Christo, and considered his performance work as an "action for society".[5] The desire to create more enduring work - in contrast to the necessarily ephemeral nature of his performance and actions - motivated him to begin working on sculpture and installations.[5]

LED works

Miyajima made his first LED counter in 1988; this has formed the basis for much of his later work.[6] Typically, a block will display two digits in red or green, and count from 1 to 99. The counters never register zero, because, for Miyajima, the idea of zero is a purely Western concept.[5] He has subsequently linked together different displays so that can respond to each other; he calls these systems 'regions'.
